Bin men missed my rubbish..... again
9 Answers
Firstly I live in 1 of 20 flats in our area each with our own front door with bin cupboard. I took the rubbish from the bin cupboard and put it just outside my front door next to the pavement this morning and later watched them come to collect everyone's rubbish. I just gone outside tonight and my black sacks were still there. This is not the first time this has happened. My only theory is that there are parking spaces outside the flats, and the neighbour's car over shadows my front door. Basically the binmen should follow the pavement behind the car and check. It's just lazy. I got nothing against binmen, it's just annoying as it happened again and now I have to wait 2 weeks for the next collection. Going to ring council but what will happen? probably not much.

I will ring them up tomorrow and maybe someone might pick it up, though I do have large commercial wheelie bins near us but it's the principle and they are not our wheelie bins.

You now can't leave your bin where its wheels might stand on a gravel path, because it makes it more difficult for the binmen to move it! It's total madness. Another one is, they have to be able to move the bin by their fingers - otherwise it's deemed as too heavy. Considering you can put heavy catalogues and old phone directories into the recycling bins, you'd have a job NOT to make it quite heavy - but where's te backbone gone from these people?
Give the council a ring. This used to happen regularly to my parents even though the bin was sat out as clearly as any of the others!
They rang the council that night when they got in from work and the council sent round a bin lorry the next day on a detour from their usual route to empty the bin especially.

You just reminded, thanks, I just rang them. The lady said they will come for it but I said I needed to know when as i can't leave it out for days because the neighbours will get the hump. Anyway, they are coming tomorrow. I said it's the 3rd time it has happened so she has reported it as a continuous problem and environmental health will investigate it. Not sure what they will do.
